Grover Blue Grass Jaw Harp, No. 8037

Ah, the Grover Jaw Harp – the delightful instrument that promised to unlock the music within me! Little did I know it was less "Mozart" and more "trying to communicate with extraterrestrial life using twangs and boings." Right out of the box, this little gem gleamed with potential. I mean, how hard could it be? Spoiler alert: Think Rubik's Cube, but for your mouth. For the first few days, I sounded like a confused frog with hiccups. Day 7? I think I accidentally summoned the spirit of an ancient jaw harp master who, I must say, seemed rather disappointed in my efforts. By day 14? Well, let's just say the local wildlife seems to have new opinions about my musical prowess. But amidst the sonic chaos, the jaw harp stayed strong, resilient, and ever so patient as I tested the boundaries of audible sound (and my neighbors' patience). It's built to last, and let's be honest, it's pretty forgiving for an instrument that has to put up with my, shall we say, "unique" playing style. In conclusion, if you're looking for an instrument that doubles as a party trick, conversation starter, and potential alien communication device, the Grover Jaw Harp has got your back. Just maybe keep a two-week buffer before any public performances (or longer, in my case). Would recommend? Heck yes! Especially for those eager to find out if their inner musician is more "maestro" or "may-stow that thing away." Either way, it's a twang-tastic time!

It barely functions, and it's incredibly hard to get any sort of tone with it. It's so large that it's almost painful to use (I am concerned I will eventually hurt myself if I continue to use this) Between the difficulty to use and the almost nonexistent tone, I wouldn't recommend this even for a beginner. On top of all that, it was pretty bent and out of shape when it arrived. It doesn't appear to have been damaged, but rather it seems like quality control is not even an afterthought for this company. I genuinely wouldn't recommend this product to anyone, and I'm rather upset that there are people/companies out there that would even attempt to sell this garbage to a customer. I really wonder how people sleep at night when they make their living ripping people off with inferior products. If any person saw this product before it was shipped, they'd have known right away that it wasn't functional. I'm thoroughly disgusted with the prevalence of these literal garbage products getting in the way of anyone being able to find something with reasonable quality. Even if you're a beginner, I would recommend to keep looking, this product is depressing, sad, and will suck all of the initiative and willpower to try something new right out of you. You'll be better off imagining your potential with no product than trying to learn or perform with this.

The only thing that should be taken note of is hand placement. If you have your fingers placed closer to the mouth area, it will make a metallic clanging sound; that being said, try to place fingers further back. If you're a beginner, be sure to have your lips covering your teeth because there is a chance of the metal bar hitting and chipping your teeth.

Got it for someone child and it’s a snoopy harp and it’s a prop does not play anything

For the price, it's not a surprise that it would be of low quality. The feel of the instrument feels overall very studery and heavy-duty, however in terms of sound quality, it can't produce that much noise, even from a professional perspective. If you want a professional sounding jaw harp, invest on something of higher quality. This instrument would be better recommended as a practice tool rather than a quality product

I mistakenly bought this thinking it was for beginners but it turns out to be just a Snoopy. I found this out later of course after doing more research about jaw harps. The spacing is to far apart from the tongue which is why its hard to produce sound, unless you bite down on the harp and apply pressure to close the gaps. I did injure my lip and the inside of my cheek but that was because I was playing to hard to produce a sound. Would not recommend for beginners. Keeping only for my collection, as a reminder, and a 1 star for just rebranding a bad harp.

It was pretty fun to use and practice no complaints

Disappointing. Doesn't work as well as others I own.

昔、他のハンガリー製のハープを使っていたのですが、 これは見た目だけピカピカで、きれいな音は出ません。 損しました。

Nearly knocked my front Teeth out as the Twanger its very strong , to strong to play comfortably, it has a very low tone with not much variation in sound, I play various mouth harps , the best type to start with are " Double Vietnamese Don Moi" witch you hold gently on the front of your slightly open lips , not on your Teeth, by moving your tongue to the top of your mouth the tone will be higher than if you keep your tongue flat at the bottom of your mouth, your tongue is what you use most to play this pocket instrument along with correct breathing techniques , try following the Tune Banjo Duels , Hold firmly in the left hand and with the inside edge of your thumb play gently forward notes by brushing the end of your harp while holding fairly firmly to start with, notes can be played on an outward stroke and back on in stroke , the Vietnamese Don Moi is available in Single - Double - triple Twangs , they are Laser Cut and made of thin brass , fairly sharp so not recommend for small children un supervised , comes complete with its own decorated cardboard protection tube ,the harp is connected by a cotton thread , pull gently and the harp slides inside the tube , wrap the surplus cotton around the tube.. Excellent for accompanying other instruments, with or without a Mic .. Available on ebay. from "Sound For Health" £3 and £4 each .. You with have fun with this easy to play little Gem ...play fast and slow with a gentle knack , don't play heavy handed with your twanger or you will bend it out of shape or at worst ruin it...buy 3 for under a £10 - because when you get into it and play for longer periods of time , its good to let them cool down or they can snap on each side of the laser cuts , the keys are random ,but don't differ that much between them...

Since this item is imported, you must submit the necessary documents in time. Otherwise it'll get stuck in customs.

Probably the most interesting, cool sounding instrument I have on my music shelf! It took a little to get used to, and had to watch a few YouTube vids to learn how to use it properly, but once you learn how to place it properly and just go with the vibes its suuuuper easy to to play. Good for beginners!! Definitely worth the money, and as for warmth, its pretty warm when it bites back! (don't hold your lip too close to the reed and bars) lol!
